Review of 2 Guns (2013) by Spangle — 14 Jan 2015
2 Guns is mostly bad, but does have some redeemable qualities, namely the chemistry between Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. In both action sequences and comedic moments, Wahlberg and Washington really play off of one another very well and the two of them really try their hardest to rise above the bad qualities of this one.
In addition, to their chemistry, I did not mind the script. The plot was terrible, but I thought the script was largely pretty well-written and really served as a good foundation for Wahlberg and Denzel.
However, in saying that, the plot was indeed terrible. Outlandish and completely unrealistic, it sucked all the fun out of the movie watching this preposterous plot unfold. Baltasar Kormakur is better than this, as are Wahlberg and Washington.
Aside from the enjoyable lead performances, this one is pretty much your run-of-the-mill mindless action flick, so if you enjoy those kinds of things, this one is for you. Sadly, I do not enjoy them, hence this film is pretty terrible to me.
